History
First documented in 1095, the place grew from a medieval village with local noble estates into a thermal spa center after mineral springs were developed for visitors from 1860 onward. This transformation made it a noted wellness destination in the alps.

Practical
The place connects to the railway network through several stations, making it easy to reach from other Swiss regions. A thermal complex offers year-round access to mineral-rich water and wellness facilities for visitors in any season.
